Oweny Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Notice alloa are always "spirited", "plucky" "well organised" etc according to the reports in the media . No one ever comes out and says that we are a terrific footballing playing team passing teams off the park at the moment. No one ever comments that we have one of the best midfield generals outside of the Premier league , a centre half and captain who is an absolute rock or we have one of the best managers in Scotland who is getting better all the time . Lazy journalism 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the two players you talk about, is there a team in the league that big Andy or Flanny wouldn't enhance?Also, are there many/any goalies that you'd swap big Parry for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing gravie Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I spoke to Mr Wilson on Friday. He stated that there is a dedicated IT team who run the OS. Looks like a case of grin and bare it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy journalism You will also be aware that any team beating the Old Firm or the Rangers never play well, but the OF and the RFC always have an off day? A bit like the BBC on a Saturday, if the Premiership is playing we get Final Score, but if it's international week and the lower 3 divisions are playing, we get no Final Score. Just shows there is little knowledge outside Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy journalism You dont think you might be getting slightly carried away here? As decent as Alloa are, and they ARE decent and deserved to beat us three weeks ago, you are second bottom, have won one League game and managed to lose to Falkirk. You have been unlucky not to get more points / wins but not winning games when you are playing well isnt necessarily a great sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People getting carried away with "passing teams off the park" patter when you have won one league match in 10 are going to get pulled up for it. I like Alloa. Some terrific people involved behind the scenes there. I would he absolutely delighted if you stay up and finish as high as possible as long as it is below us. Its a bit early for the "wha's like us" stuff though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereismillar Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I think you all miss the point , the initial gripe was "how can you be happy with your team" well we are for reasons stated previously we are a small but well run club and are punching way above our weight, their are so called bigger clubs still struggling to get out of the 1st and 2nd divisions.

Great minds think alike chief. Totally agree I don't think we are getting carried away we know how hard it is for us competing in this division. Surprised how poor some of these teams are but I suspected the money will be spent in January to get them out of trouble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
